Hello,

I'm a developer by trade, and would like to make a port with a similar organization onto a Drupal based platform. I hope that it will not be an issue. Only question I have is the purpose of the ATIDoc comments and if there's any other caveats to know in regards to the copyrights other than what is already mentioned. Additionally, I think it would be tremendously beneficial to keep up with any content updates, but I'm not sure what this situation looks like from your perspective.

I can only agreee! Great to get the ATI snapshot from Github. A git pull certainly beats always checking for an updated .zip file.

Ivgeni, did you see jtb's goodbye and parting notes? It doesn't look like there will be much new content while jtb is on a break.

hazah commented 10 years ago

Yes I did read them, thank you. I figured I'd at least double check on the situation. I'm still a little perplexed by ATIDoc, it seems to be a custom metadata block, but what is its significance?

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hosting the ATI website here on Github is imho better than building mirrors of the original website.

stevemccann commented 10 years ago

well then again, updating ATI is only a 'git pull' away :-)

Later, I'm hardly done with most of the Mahayana.

I spent 10 years watching people bringing issues about this-Mahayana and that-Theravada from the then e-sangha onto the now dharma/dhammawheel, even tried working with a wonderful British gentleman on the now defunct buddhismis.com, now the thing here is hardly about how the world lacks another update, as long as this Accesstoinsight project stays steady on its homepage as well as github i think when it is barely broken then just leave it as it is.

I'm not interested in issues of different schools, nor is this about updates. Just formatting. I've no issues with the content as it is.
